Description
The primary objective for a Network Penetration Tester course bundle is to identify exploitable vulnerabilities in networks, systems, hosts, and network devices like routers, switches) before hackers can discover and exploit them.
Network penetration testing will reveal real-world opportunities for hackers to be able to compromise systems and networks in such a way that allows for unauthorized access to sensitive data or even take-over systems for malicious/non-business purposes.
In-Network penetration testing, professionals harvest information from network interfaces that exist between software and the external environment. This includes network interfaces, user interfaces, application programming interfaces (APIs), and any other input points that are a prime target for exploits.
Companies employ Network Penetration Tester to improve information security by detecting and correcting system weaknesses before criminal hackers can exploit these weaknesses. This preventative measure lowers companies’ risk of real cyberattacks, which can damage company finances and customer trust.
